2. Unauthorized Use Prohibited:
Content produced by HOTSAND® USA is our proprietary product. At this time, HOTSAND® USA does not distribute, license, or sell content for private, commercial, or corporate use.
Any unauthorized use, reproduction, redistribution, or modification of our media, in any form, without prior written consent from HOTSAND® USA is prohibited. We reserve the right to update this policy as future licensing strategies evolve.
3. Our Mission & Public Accessibility:
HOTSAND® USA is an independent, athlete-owned small business based in Santa Cruz, California. Our mission is to elevate the visibility of amateur beach volleyball athletes and to support our local beach volleyball community.
Any athlete-related statistical or profile information displayed on our platforms is sourced entirely from public records and previously published tournament data.
HOTSAND® USA is not sponsored or funded by any large corporate entity. Revenue is generated by merchandise sales and in turn reinvested back into our business to sustain operation costs (website, app development, cameras, travel, additional merch, etc.).
While our content is strictly protected against unauthorized commercial use, we are dedicated to keeping it free and accessible to the public. All published media can be viewed at no cost across our official platforms, including the HOTSAND® USA mobile app and our verified social media channels.
